Lucius Aelius Lamia († 33 in Rome) was a Roman politician and senator .
The Aelii Lamiae were a wealthy and respected knight family in Augustan times. Under Augustus they were accepted under the patricians . Lamia's father of the same name was probably born in 42 BC. BC Praetor . Lamia probably began his career as Tresvir aere argento auro flando feriundo ( mint master ).
After his praetur, Lamia held the ordinary consulate in year 3 . After that he was a legate several times , including from 4 to 6 in Germania and 10/11 as a military leader under the supreme command of Tiberius . This was followed by two governorships , but Lamia was only able to exercise one of them: Probably 15/16 he went to Africa as proconsul . Although he was appointed governor of Syria in the year 21 , Tiberius forbade him to actually visit the province. In 32 Lamia became city prefect , he died the following year. Lamia was also a member of the Quindecimviri sacris faciundis priests quorum .
Presumably, the two-time suffect consul Tiberius Plautius Silvanus Aelianus, adopted by a member of the Plautier family, was his son.
